i feel just like you... why should us hard working, tax paying, honest people have to pay for scroungers and young teen mums to live and not work and get everything for them, yet we get nothing in return?? like yourself, both my boyfriend and i work full time and wanted to get a mortgage but we couldn't get one.... great. We then disided to rent a place and luckierly for me, my dad was buying a house at the time to rent out, so we are now living there and paying my dad rent (although where im his daugter, he doesn't charge me as much as he would for any other tenent!) why not look into renting? sometimes its cheaper than a mortgage, sometimes not, but worth a look... as easy as it is to say 'fine, im going to get pregnant and scronger of the benifets' don't scoop that low love, then you would be one of them girls that us hard working folks have tp pay for.... keep going, save and the reward will be such much more better when the time comes when your moving into your very own house... goodluck and dont give up... your way of live will be so much better... holidays, decorate your own house how you like it, a proper quality way of life, not just stuck in a council flat all your life

Yes you're absolutely right.
But then your child would wear second hand clothes, holidays would be a thing of the past, no carpets, no nice clothes, wall paper, carpetting, flooring, soft furnishings, food.................. for you and your partner - imagine living permanently on the supermarket 'value' lines, and that should keep you determined to stay in full time employment.
You say you're both young, no kids yet. Keep doing what you're doing, but maybe set aside £100-£200 a month, and after a year you should be on your way to a deposit. Even better, work out what you would be paying on a mortgage (?£500)- and save that every month for a year = deposit and maybe some left over for decorating. And, by saving that amount each month, you're showing your lender that you can do it - which never hurts.

No, as much as it might seem that way with out further study, it does not work that way. Buying a home is a big thing, a hard thing. It should be hard. It should be reserved, it should be something that you can be proud of when you Finlay do it. The harder it is to get, the more it will be respected.
Just keep working, it will come. Keep doing the right thing.

If you quit your job i think its 6 months before you can claim benefits and anway how would you hold your head up, people who need to claim benefits its fair enough but dont choose to go that way if you can help it, have some pride woman!!

Yeah, and while you're at it...after you get your house, go open up a Dunkin Donuts franchise and speak gibberish and f*ck up my coffee every time I go in. This country IS going to the dogs.

well if you quit your jobs you wouldn't get benefit for at least 6 months, and you wouldn't get on the housing list as you are, if you had a baby you might get somewhere, but not somewhere you would want, perhaps a grotty B&B.

Annoying isn't it! Those of who work had basically fund scroungers. Its about time that hardworking folk were rewarded and scroungers penalised!
However, you would never own and live in scumsville with all the scroungers!

it's great isn't it, hearing of families where noone can be bothered to work, and getting £35k in benefits.
How grateful I was with £50 a week to support my family when I was briefly unemployed.
